Five Stocks Are Up More Than 100% Today...

What's up everyone? Welcome to day 35 of
my small account challenge of growing a
$2,000 account. You know, today is an
interesting day because I'm green in
both my small account and my big
account. And at my peak and in both
accounts, I was up the exact same almost
the exact same amount of money, which is
funny because my big account has a
balance of over $2 million. My small
account this morning had a starting
balance of about $70,000. And I think
what that goes to show is that generally
on a day-to-day basis, I don't need all
that extra buying power to do quite
well. There are a few instances
throughout the year like the SpaceX IPO
and potentially a stock that I feel
really confident in and is a little more
expensive where it's nice to have that
extra buying power in my big account.
And my belief is that I more than make
up for the opportunity cost of keeping
all that money in my main account versus
having it invested in the market by the
few times a year that I use the buying
power. I'd rather have it and not use it
than need it and not have it
essentially. But today was a great
example of really not needing it. And
you know, if there was something I
really wanted to do with that money, uh,
well, this is a day that might prove
that it would probably not be a bad idea
just to take the money out, keep the
account smaller. And yeah, I would miss
out on a few opportunities a year, but I
think there's something to be said for
keeping your account on the smaller
side. Yes, you will miss a few
opportunities, but it also keeps you
kind of rained in because as we've seen,
I've had a few big swings in the big
account. Up 70 80,000, down 70 80,000.
You know, if the account was just more
compressed and smaller, I wouldn't be
having those swings. Well, you know,
again, easy come, easy go. I I like the
big green days and I do need the buying
power in order to generate some of them.
But today was a relatively small green
day in my main account. Uh but a solid
green day in the small account. So
different standards there. Uh which is
kind of interesting. Now um I'm excited
because today I crossed over $460,000
of money raised for charity and we've
now donated to 47 children's hospitals
across the United States. So that means
we have just three left to go. So I've
donated $460,000 as of today, donating
5,000 to Duke Children's Hospital in
North Carolina and $5,000 to a the
Nebraska Children's Hospital in
Nebraska. So let's go ahead and dive
into the recap of today's trades. I'm
going to combine the small account and
the big account in this uh recap since I
sort of was focusing on the same stocks
on both. All right. So, day 35, leading
gainer this morning was PFSA.
Was at $10 a share earlier this morning.
6.4 million shares of volume already
with a float of 605,000 shares. A very
low float. So, how well did it meet my
five pillars of stock selection? Number
one, was it up more than 10% on the day?
Absolutely. Up over 100%. Did it have
five times relative volume? Yep, 2600
times relative volume. Did it have a
news catalyst? No. price between two and
20. Yes. Float under 20 million shares.
Yes. So, it met four out of the five
pillars, which was fine, especially in
this market where we're seeing, you
know, clearly a lot of stocks are moving
without news. Traders are excited to
jump on things squeezing. And so, that's
kind of the theme that we've had uh as
of late. So, um, PFSA was our leading
gainer and it started hitting our
running up scanner right here, alerting
at about 7:01 a.m. 970, 10:02, 10:03,
11, etc. And you could see these are
four alerts in 5 seconds, three alerts
in 5 seconds. So, you could press the
down arrow to see all the additional
alerts that come through right in that
moment. So, I was aware that this had
some offering risk. Although the float
is displayed as being quite low, this
was um a registration to sell up to 179
million shares on the open market, which
is a lot of stock. So I was a little bit
concerned about this. Um you know, but
uh nonetheless, I I was willing to break
the ice. And I was willing to break the
ice because the chart was quite strong.
So, as you see right here, um, earlier
this morning, uh, this was actually
after hours. We began the squeeze in the
after hours session. So, we got a nice
rally up and then that continued into
the pre-market session. Now, I don't
always love that continuation into
pre-market. And one of the things I
mentioned is that there's risk that at 7
a.m. traders who might have held it
overnight will sell. Why wouldn't they
sell sooner? Well, a lot of brokers
don't allow you to trade between 4:00
a.m. and 7 a.m., which means it doesn't
matter how high the stock goes up, go
$500 a share, you cannot sell, which is
a little scary that your broker just
locks you out of the market, you know,
from that period of time. But that is
the case. So, you got a little padlock
here. It can't trade it at all. Oops.
Sorry. But that's better. Whatever.
Doesn't matter. So, as it rallied up
right here, I decided to jump in for the
break of the VWAP. And if we zoom in to
the 10-second chart, basically what
happened was we popped up to 10, pulled
back, popped up to 10, pulled back,
popped up to 1015, 1020 as it started to
pull away right there, I punched it in
first entry at uh $1012, added at 1020,
added at 1045 and a little at 1042, and
then was taking profit as it squeezed
through 11 out at an average of 11:08.
Add, add, add ad. Four ads, one exit.
Boom. Locked up in one trade. 3,000 12
$112.72.
Not bad. Brings the account up to
$73,000 of total equity. That was trade
one. Trade two, SXTC at about $830 hits
our running up scanner, squeezing from
529 up to six. Now, in this case, it's
also got a low float. Relative volume is
just under five. So, a little bit on the
lower side, but was moving quickly and I
was okay with it. So the context at that
moment was that the other leading
gainers were failing. PFSA was failing,
selling off back below VWAP. XOS, this
one had sold off again. Wet too
expensive, but had also sold off quite a
bit. And so with this beginning to rally
up here, I thought this was going to
become the obvious stock. And I bought
this dip right here, consolidation at
550. It dips below 550 just for a
second. I actually bought that dip and
then added as it squeezed higher. We
broke through 580, go up to 630, boom,
in and out $5,6692.
Now I'm on a roll up 8,700 on the day.
The next trade is another scan alert
sle. Now this stock has a little over
five times relative volume, 1.6 million
share float, 6 million shares of total
volume. It's squeezing up and it has
news, but I'm not really confident on
the news because it's an asset treasury
strategy where Mega or Metaplanet is
investing.
So, basically the way this is working is
Metaplanet is uh giving SLE 2100
bitcoins worth $132 million in exchange
for about 45 million shares of SLE which
are worth about 120 million at $3 a
share. So they did this swap, but now uh
MetaPlanet is the 90 plus% shareholder
of SLE. So they've essentially taken
control of the company. So that's the
news catalyst. Um now if Bitcoin was at
all-time highs, I'd be a little bit more
excited about it. So on this one, I
traded it a little bit differently. So
basically the way I approached this, oh,
let me log back in. Hang on one second.
Was when it first hit our scanner, so it
hits the running up scanner. It's moving
quickly and I'm thinking initially I've
traded this one before. I don't really
think it's going to work that well. In
fact, it popped up just the other day
and then failed. So, I I sort of had low
expectations of it. But kind of like
SCXT, because nothing else was really
strong at that moment, this did end up
getting more attention. So, here's the
way I traded it. Let me pull up my chart
for you. So, I'm going to pull up the
chart here on SLE. So SLE um pops up,
pulls back, pops up, pulls back, and as
it squeezes right here, finally I
decided to pull the trigger. And we
ended up getting a a fairly nice move.
Now, this one was tricky. So we got this
trade right here for the break of six,
and this put me up $2,000 on the day.
Then I got back in uh right about here
for the curl back through seven. Held
through this whole pullback. Held, held,
held. it comes up and then I sold sort
of right in the middle of this. Some at
profit, some at loss, and I gave back
what I made on it. So, unfortunately, I
I so I peaked at $10,000 on the day,
about 11,000 actually in the small
account and then finished um up $8,710
and down $7129
on SLE, which is a little bit of a
bummer. So, that's the breakdown for my
small account. In my big account, I
traded um and made uh as you can see
here, $10,291.
I also traded SLE and also lost on that
same false breakout. I traded PFSA, but
only made about $1,900 on it. And I
traded GNPX, which was another stock
that popped up. And it popped up so
quickly, I didn't have time to take the
trade in the small account, but that was
actually a good thing as it turned out.
So, GNPX popped up on our scanners
earlier this morning. So, it hits the
scanners and you can see we got this
squeeze here from $5 up to 750, which is
a pretty impressive move. And that was
right at about 7:05 a.m. And so, right
as soon as it was popping up, it's
hitting our scanners. Ding, ding, ding.
So, I got to scroll back for a second.
So, let's see. This was um
so this one. So, here we go. So, it's
hitting our scanners. We've got uh low
float, higher relative volume up 56%.
And so, I see it squeezing and I'm like,
"All right, man. I'm jumping in this."
and I jumped in and we got this nice
move from 550 up to 6 up to 7, but then
it reversed hard. And you know what
surprised me about this one is that this
actually was up on news. This one
actually had a news catalyst. It's got
breaking news. That was the reason it
moved higher. I jump on the momentum. We
get this a couple little micro pullbacks
here around six and then 650 and then it
goes up to the high. So jumped in this
fairly aggressively. We got this quick
squeeze and even in spite of breaking
news, it ends up going red on the day
versus the price before the news came
out. You don't like to see that happen.
So that kind of put me on notice where
in the big account I was like, you know
what, I'm going to take my foot off the
gas for a second. And so that was my
first trade in the big account. I missed
the early trade on PFSA, but I traded
PFSA after the open. Um, and that's
where I made the $2,000 on it in my big
account trading uh this squeeze right
here. So at the open, PFSA continued
higher. So we ended up breaking this
descending resistance level right here.
So we had this level, broke through it,
multiple halts going up, and we squeeze
all the way up to $16 a share. Now,
interestingly, if you connect the high
right here with right here, kind of this
area, we knew that there was
potentially, you know, far up here some
resistance. Didn't run into that. That
wasn't a problem. We also had Wetto,
which was really strong this morning.
This one also had some ascending
resistance, ran into. We were worried
about that possible issue. But look at
WTO. This is an example of one of these
stocks that, you know, a couple days ago
was at $6 a share and the thing just
keeps going higher. Now it's in the 40s.
So the swing trading short sellers are
getting completely smoked on these types
of stocks. And while they're not all
holding up, we are definitely seeing
some really good opportunities. So I'm
grateful for today being another solid
green day. um you know up 10,000 in the
big account now puts me basically back
to flat after my loss on Friday was read
64 $65,000 on Friday was up 52,000
yesterday 10,000 today so 62 grand so
I'm still red a little bit in the big
account since Friday that's kind of a
bummer you know one big loss and then
having to spend several days just
getting myself back to where I was on
Thursday night after I was done trading
feels like a waste of time we're getting
a little later in the month so it's
frustrating but it is what it is Good
progress, however, in the small account.
Small account is now up to a balance of
uh just under $80,000
versus the $2,000 initial starting
balance. This is exciting. So, we broke
through 75,000. That was the goal. Uh
that was the next goal. Now, setting my
sights on 100 grand. So, um again, thank
you guys um for tuning in uh to these
recaps. I hope you hit the thumbs up. I
hope you're subscribed to the channel.
And as always, if you want to check out
a twoe trial, there's a link pinned at
the top of the comments. and in the
description. So, you can check that out.
But I'll remind you that my results are
not typical. Trading is risky. Easy
come, easy go. So, please manage your
risk and always practice in a simulator
before putting real money on the line.
And with that, I will see you guys back
at it bright and early tomorrow morning
at 7
